Protesters march through Tirana after speeches conclude

Although the capital was hit by rainfall this evening, the protesters did not back down from their civic action and continued marching through the streets of Tirana as part of the 25th protest against the government.

With umbrellas and other rain protection, citizens set off along several of the capital’s main roads. During the march, they voiced slogans against the government and reiterated the demands they have been presenting for weeks at gatherings held in Tirana.

Citizens’ participation was not diminished by the nonstop rain, as they continued moving along the route set by the organizers. In some cases, the protesters stopped to deliver speeches and convey their messages to state institutions.

According to participants, their decision to protest despite the bad weather shows their determination to continue the civic action. They expressed the belief that the rainfall does not lessen public dissatisfaction and cannot stop the protests that have been taking place for several weeks.
